# Import term content

 * I created a couple of custom taxonomies. Each term has a couple of custom fields(
   created with Advanced Custom Fields). I am going to have a lot of terms(football
   teams), and I don’t want to edit them all manually in the wordpress backend.
 * I know you can add terms with wp_insert_term. The thing is, I cannot add the 
   custom fields to that function.
 * Is there some way where I can(preferably using csv files) import terms with those
   custom fields?
 * Thanks!

 * I know there are some import plugins who support ACF, but those add-ons are probably
   not free.
 * Or you can go scripting and call after wp_insert_term the [update field](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/update_field/)
   function to add those fields.
 * ( Last option is to directly add those to the database but you’ll have to research
   how ACF stores those )

 * Hi Bas!
 * Thanks for your answer!
 * I managed to get a solution:
    – I read the csv file with php’s fgetcsv – use 
   wp_insert_term to import terms – use update_field to import custom fields
 * If anyone has any questions on how to work this out let me know and i’ll post
   my code!
